<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 21539372, member: 46237&quot;]I&#039;m confused as to why you object to this, however, I&#039;ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say I should have clarified my intent with this advice:</p><p><br /></p><p>You should be buying <i>cheap (&lt;$100)</i> raw coins that force you to figure out what you&#039;re looking at by immersion. You should at this period be <i>looking at </i>slabbed coins and otherwise studying coins primarily. My advice for a prohibition on buying slabbed coins is not that you shouldn&#039;t buy a slabbed coin if you think it&#039;s a good deal, but that you shouldn&#039;t be buying the coin because of the grade on the label if you don&#039;t know how to grade it yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>As the last line in my advice states, the time to <i>buy</i> slabbed coins is the time when you don&#039;t need to rely on the grade on the slab. You should feel just as comfortable evaluating and buying the coin whether it is raw or slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
